Manuscripts and COpyists.

The writers Of manuscripts among
the Hebrews were sayants, commenta-
tors Oh the holy writ, rabbis endowed
with special habtation; among the
Greeks and Romans, slaves, who were
to their masters what well-lillcd book
case is to wooden spoon; Calvisius
Sabnus, mentioned by Seneca, having
paid the eXorbitant sum of 500, COO
sesterces (about S55,0 00) for eleven
slaves, each one of whom could recite
Greek poem. faculty that would not
have enabled them to hold candle to
Joseph Scaliger, who had learned by
heart the 'Iliad" and Odyssey" in
twenty -one days, or to Christian Chem
nitus, who knew the bible so well that
he could tell the chapter and verse OF
any quotation that might be made from
it. Besides slaves, there were in Rome,
also, professional copyists who were
freed men, and others foreigners, these
mostly Greeks, who. though they were
the Gascons of antiquity for their fine
talking. could lay claim to the credit OF
having created the art of Illuminating
manuscripts. The great edlct vi Do
cletian on the ''maX mum tabulated
the price paid to copyists, but the great
edict of Diocletian. rs it comes to us,
has "a good measure, pressed down
and running over" of information that
is not wanted, and would provoke Il

of publishing a Latin inscription to tell
il. and the Hcbdomals of Varro, an IL
lustrated biography that is at the point
of the pen of everyone who writes OF
manuscripts, was the work OF a woman,
Lala, who had come from Asia Minor.
In the middle ages the copyist did his
work as penance. and Thcdoric liked to
tell the monks of his abbey that friar

the number of bis ms. Antiquarians
are in accord on the point that the old

the third century. according to Mont
faucon. Aulus Gcllius had seen manu-
script of the "Eneid," and Quintilian
tells of manuscripts that he had seen of
Cicero and Cato and Censor. and Ven
ice CLAIMS that il possesses the original
manuscript of the gospel of St Mark.
and the British museum has a Greek
copy of the evangelists that Is attributed
TO St Thecla, one Of st. Pau's virgin

absurdity, that our so-called classics.

The Delaware Way.

Had a stranger, unacquainted with
Delaware's mode of furnishing thieves,
visited the county Jail yard at New Castle
this morning he at first would probably
have imagined that several prize-lighis
were TO occur soon, writes Will
mington correspondent of The Nec
York HerdM About The middle Of the
forenoon the iail-yard was thronged by
motley crowd, hooting and jeerlng at
ten men who stood shivering in front
of n pillory and whipping-post. These
men resembled puglists in that they
were stripped above the waist. In
them the braggadocio and mien so
common among pugilists were lacking
Although hardened in crime the raw
air and the inunts of the crowd affect
ed then upicasantiy ami they said not Il
word to those jecring them. They
were convicts, and during the week
had been found guilty OF larceny or
burglary. Two of them were white
and all were young.
Promptly at 10 o'clock Sheriff Lamb
son entered the yard, and William ii.
Baker (white), convicted of stealing a
horse and wagon, was dashed TO the
post, and to his back the sheriff applied
cat o -nine-tails twenty times. When
Baker was taken back 10 his cell
Charles Matthews (whte), convicted OF
the larceny of clothing, was fastened e
the post and was given ten lasheS. Next
came six colorcd men-Weldon Collins,
William Parsons, Robert ScwelI.
George Anderson, Jacob Griilins, and
John Walter, who each received ten
lashes except the last three, who each
were given five. Collins was convicted
of stealing S3l from an italian; Par
sons stole some fence rails; Walter
robbed n companion of S35; Sewel
stole some flowers from n nursery; An
derson's crime was the thief: Of M
overcoat, and Gr,ilin's was stealing
chickens.
In addition TO receiving ten lashe
Baker had TO stand IN The pillory 70
an hour. Terry Cooper and France
Bayard, both colored, convicted o
stealing ga from Il farmer, also stoo'
an hour in the pillory. The admins

the social position of a students fam
